At NGIS, we believe in continuous learning whether you’re just starting out or looking to uncover new tools and techniques.

Our structured learning journeys guide you from beginner to advanced expertise, ensuring every step builds on your previous knowledge and expands your capabilities.

The NGIS QGIS Advanced course was an insightful and fun training workshop that I would recommend to anyone looking to elevate their QGIS skills or dive into the geospatial world. It’s given me a boost of confidence and a fresh perspective on the power of spatial data.
